In today’s market, telecommuting has become more vital than ever. With that said, successfully working from home requires an ambient and productive space. The colors you choose for your walls, designer fabrics and other elements work in tandem to create a serene and stress-free spatial design that is tailored to your unique profession. If you are currently looking to redesign your existing home office, or if your home office dreams are simply aspirational and you are looking to be inspired, here are six chic colors to consider.
Orange
Warm shades of orange are known to be energetic and stimulating, and can help to create a more productive and focused workspace. Whether used as an accent in designer fabrics and area rugs, or as the main hue in your spatial design, orange is well suited for a modern home office. Tailored for people working in creative, artistic industries, incorporating orange in a home office can help to inspire ideas and innovation.
Red
This primary hue has a passion for business. Strong and invigorating, red is ideal as an accent color in a refined home office space. Rich shades of red are dynamic and can help to create a dignified and inviting interior styling. Whether it’s a sleek and contemporary nook or a traditional home office that you desire, red can be a bold and beautiful choice for fabric and walls or as a means to accessorize a spatial design that stimulates the mind and gets your heart pumping.
Pink
Uniquely feminine, pink can offer a touch of elegance and unmatched sophistication to a home office. Soft shades of pale pink are right on point in a contemporary interior, such as First Light, Benjamin Moore’s Color of the Year for 2020. On the other end of the pink spectrum, more vibrant shades spark creativity and look stunning when paired with crisp white elements, as seen in this lovely Rittenhouse home office by Stella Ludwig Interiors. Here, a single wall of floral wallpaper serves as an artistic focal point in an otherwise neutral room, paired with custom accent chairs upholstered in hot pink designer fabrics.
Yellow

From soft and buttery shades on walls to vivid pops of color in designer fabrics and decorative elements, this warm, happy hue can give your work day a boost of much needed motivation and productivity.
Green
Green is earthy and organic and can feel like a breath of fresh air in a home office redesign. On the cool side of the color wheel, green is a neutral way to add color to your interior styling. From rich and refined jewel tones and deep shades that border on black, to subtle and serene hues that offer a soft hint of color, green is a gorgeous choice for creating a serene, stress-free and productive working environment.
Blue
There is a reason the color experts at Pantone named Classic Blue their Color of the year for 2020. Like green, shades of blue are cool and neutral by nature and run the gamut from light to dark. A timeless and diplomatic choice, blue is considered an intellectual and calming color family. It also encourages reflection and clear thinking. Blue is highly versatile and pairs beautifully with other refined elements, as seen in this well appointed Rittenhouse home office by Stella Ludwig Interiors.
